Why I Came to Baylor:
"Three reasons explain my coming to Baylor University. First, I wanted to return to university teaching after having taught at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College for 19 years, including one year as a visiting professor at West Point. Second, Baylor expressed its committment to providing time and resources for serious research. Third, I was attracted to the Christian environment."
